3 Cake Batter Milkshake Recipes

I love cake batter-sometimes I don't even want to finish baking the cake I just want to eat the batter! It's a real will-power challenge for any baker, let me tell you. My love of cake batter inspired me to create a milkshake flavor that embodies everything delicious about cake batter. Enjoy….

Funfetti Milkshakes, makes 3-4 servings

Needed: 1 box of Funfetti cake mix, additional ingredients the box directions call for (except eggs), 4-5 cups milk and 4-5 scoops of vanilla ice-cream. Serve with extra sprinkles if you like! I rub a little bit of corn syrup on the edges of my glasses then dipped them in sprinkles to get this pretty rim look.

Devils Food Cake Batter Milkshakes, makes 3-4 servings

Needed: 1 box of Devil's Food (or chocolate) cake mix, additional ingredients the box directions call for (except eggs), 4-5 cups milk and 4-5 scoops of chocolate ice-cream. Serve with extra sprinkles if you like! I rub a little bit of corn syrup on the edges of my glasses then dipped them in sprinkles to get this pretty rim look.

Oh. My. I gave up sugar for February, but I am so regretting it now…. Will have to pin this for later! You are a goddess for posting this! Wow! Can’t wait to make these and post about it on my blog too!

I always got to lick the beaters when I was baking with my mom as a kid. Now there’s no one but myself to stop me from eating the raw batter. This is a really creative idea! I love how you’ve decorated the glasses. Thanks for sharing!

I really appreciate the easiness of most of the recipes you show here, but lately it felt like you often used some industrial props : cake mix, candy coatings, etc… It makes for easy recipes, which is enjoyable, but I would love a bit more of freshness to those yummy lovelies !

Haha, just this weekend I was making chocolate muffins but ended up making with about half the number that the recipe stated as I’d eaten so much batter! These milkshakes are just perfect, and I wont have to feel guilty about being too impatient to wait for the cakes to bake this time!
I wonder if the chocolate cake will go with mint ice cream as well as I’m imagining!?

These are adorable! I made the funfetti milkshake tonight, and I promptly realized that my itty bitty old blender could never hold that much! So I improvised and broke it up, but they still turned out super yummy! I’m definitely making the chocolate one next, it’s my favorite.

i love this concept but you should never eat raw flour: it can contain bacteria that can make you really really sick!

“One study that looked at commercial wheat flour samples found almost 13 percent contaminated with E. coli. The investigators also pointed out that wheat flour can also be contaminated with Salmonella, and that flour-based mixes have previously been implicated in outbreaks of food-borne illness. ”

I used to work at a little ice cream shop at a camp and we made a delicious cake batter shake. For our recipe I think we just used vanilla ice cream, milk, almond roca coffee syrup and sprinkles and then blended it all together.

These are so creative though! My little cousin loves this kind of stuff. I should make these for him 🙂

Okay so, this looks disgusting to me! Seriously! Raw cake batter mixed with OIL– I mean you said the other ingredients EXCEPT the eggs! Which means you are putting all that OIL into a shake! Why would you need vegetable oil in a shake!?? or even water!??? If I were to make these, (Which I wouldn’t, because I think cake batter flavored anything is gross) but I would only add icecream, and milk. That’s it. NO OIL. (Raw eggs might be better than oil.)

ok so made the funfetti 2nite. Used only 2 c milks because it was already so liquidy. 4-5 c would make it like flavored milk. Used more ice cream than called for but still way too rich w/ no ice cream taste. Tasted like coldish cake batter. Not so sure I want to try the choc one. anyone have any reviews???

My favorite ice cream shop is seasonal, so I experimented with recipes for a cake batter shake to get me through the winter. I use milk, vanilla ice cream, and a few scoops of funfetti cake mix. No need for the box ingredients.

I have a question about how to mix this. Do you do it in a blender or with a mixer? I can’t see “mixing” ice cream, but yet the amount seems to be too much to fit in a blender. They look SO yummy, I can’t wait to try them all! Thanks!

Sounds so fun! I have to say I am dying to know where you guys always get these super cute straws!!
Above is a quote from here: I too would love to know where you got those striped pixie stix straws??
Is is possible to get an answer? After reading all the comments I think I will try making the cake first until it reaches a safe temp. and take it out and mash up,some may still be runny but if the temp is right ? I’m thinking 165 (could be 145)it should be safe then and maybe not too grainy for a shake?

Olive oil would probably be beettr (you dont say if it is extra virgin, cold pressed, etc.) The more refined the oil (olive) the higher the temperature tolerance, ie. Cold pressed extra virgin is more suited to salads whereas light or pure (which is what you have) olive oil should be fine! The coconut oil might be ok but I personally have not cooked with it so cannot vouch for it. The flavour might be too strong and I dont think it has the same heat tolerance .

i made these with red velvet cake mix and it was soooo good, just in case you’re waintng to experiment 😉 i bet chocolate or better yet devils food cake would work just as well. maybe even strawberry… oh boy, going off on a tangent. either way, these look great!!

As much as I love milkshakes and cake…I dont think I could drink something I know had a bunch of oil in it. Usually when I make cake I just substitute sour cream or greek yogurt for the oil and it turns out just as moist…might have to try that with this too!
